Allotment!!

Exciting news!!

I have an allotment! I've been on the waiting list for years and now the wait is over! I have a lovely little (well size of a large swimming pool) plot next to the Grantham canal. It has 4 apple trees, a pond, a shed and it is in reasonable order... just some tidying and clearing to do, which should take a few weeks and then I can start planting.

I have decided to grow:
Potatoes (earlies and second earlies this year)
Parsnips
Carrots
Leeks
Purple sprouting brocolli
Red Cabbage
Savoy Cabbage
Sprouts
Sweetcorn
Courgettes
Salad
Radishes
Cucumber
Peas
Beans
Rhubarb
Raspberries
Strawberries
Gooseberries

My good friend Joe had advised me to start with plug plants this year and not worry about growing from seed until I have the plot organised and a seed bed build and some cold frames etc.

I can't wait to get going once this horrible weather has passed! It will be great fun for Cas too I hope.
